Don't do it. They'll blame you for every perceived problem they have (most of which will not actually be problem).

It's expensive to refuse to learn new things.

Never give up the domain. I've let several go that I wish I still had. They only get more valuable, like real estate.

Man, I rode my bike everywhere as a kid. I could get through 5-6 elementary schools. I could get to the rich kids neighborhood and the ghetto. I could get to 2 different movie theaters. I could get to 6 different great record shops.

My HOA is... fine. It's like $25 a month, and it includes trash/recycling and common area maintenance. I've gotten a few warnings about leaving my trash cans out too long, or some other small violations, and I've cursed them for that because I'm obstinate and ornery... but I take care of it, and I don't actually get a fine.

I miss mixed CDs. You meet someone, you understand their music tastes, and you make them a mix of stuff that you think they'd like, but from your favorite known artists. I made plenty, and ones I received got me into some awesome bands.

I burned CDs just titled "Pink Floyd", "Beatles" or "Radiohead" with their entire discography of mp3s on it. I really got deep into a lot of bands back then.

I remember downloading the big stuff at work, because they had a T1, and network security wasn't really a thing yet.

Have you tried explosive diarrhea? You will.

Unless I did a really poor job researching it, you cannot change your default SMS/MMS application on an iPhone.

You can use other messaging apps like Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram, or AIM. But if you want to use SMS, you have to use iMessage.

Maybe this is US-specific though. Europe often forces Apple to do things they don't do here.

The real reason: Apple intentionally doesn't support the open protocols that send pics and videos to non-Apple devices. These protocols are a decade old and work great. They use a proprietary protocol instead, which they will not share with other phone manufacturers.

What the average iPhone user thinks: Apple is better than Android!

It's pretty dumb.

I'n using Elementary OS right now. It's been my daily driver for several years on a low powered laptop as a Chromebook replacement. I run browser, messaging, and occasionally some light photo or audio editing.

No complaints. Works great. Solid. Looks great. If you have a similar use case, I recommend it. All of the people ITT talking about what's wrong with it have not changed my mind that it's just what I need.

I hear Americans eat babies too. I'm not even sure they are human, right?

I'm sure people get annoyed or ignore you because you're just too truthful, not because you're ridiculous.

If I leave the site and come back the next day, I always have to log in again. Is that normal and desired behavior, or is that an issue? I don't have my browser set up to delete cookies automatically.

This being a privacy-focused instance, maybe it's mandated and unchangeable. But I thought I'd ask.
